The wife and I bought a house in Crestline, Ca from the daughter of the original owner/builder. What started as a 1bedroom cabin he built into a 3 bed house, beginning in the late 1930's. The range was reported to have been bought from the Wrigley (chewing gum) family in Lake Arrowhead, Ca. We use this range daily for family meals. With 2 main burners, 4 medium burners and 2 warming burners, main oven, 2 side ovens and warming box, there is enough room for even my Italian grandma to cook a Christmas dinner.....we hosted 4 families for Christmas and there was never a hiccup. My wife and the other wives sure put it to the test.

14 game hens, mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted sweet potatoes, stuffing and what not.....good time to be Italian 😍

I was remodeling a kitchen last year and the homeowner called someone to pick up his stove. It was no were as gorgeous as yours Bill, but was similar in dimensions.

He did not get any money for it, he just wanted to donate it, since they were coming to get it out of the house for free.

I went out and had a short discussion with the guy and asked how much could they possibly give him at a scarp yard to make it worthwhile for him.He said, oh no, I restore these. I usually put out $500 and get back $2000 to $3000.

Don't get rid of that stove Bill, just make sure the guts are in top shape.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.
